Recent Updates
Features
- Better SPAM protection through the usage of improved client and server side validation to only allow alphabet characters for first and last name, validation to ensure that the gateway field is not left empty (to compbat SPAM bot scripts), and sanitize all input fields when processing the donation. [#3035](https://github.com/WordImpress/Give/issues/3035#issuecomment-391393093)
- Added new customizable “Email Heading” fields for all Core emails (coming soon to add-ons as well). [#3110](https://github.com/WordImpress/Give/issues/3110)
- Added autocomplete field attributes to the applicable donation form fields for faster completion. [#3202](https://github.com/WordImpress/Give/issues/3202)

Fixes
- We have refactored how we are using nonces so now the often reported issue of “Nonce verification failed” should no longer happen.
